Lubricant?

[45doubletap]

What does everyone use to lubricate their semi's? I've used it all 3 in 1 oil, rem oil, Tetra, etc.

Just bought a new shield 40 and after cleaning the absurd amount of oil dripping from it I lubricated it properly with Tetra gun grease. Tetra gun grease has been my go to for awhile on all areas where there is metal on metal contact.

Just looking for some others opinions...

I don't like 3 in 1 because it is more kerosene than oil.
There are dozens of good products; I use Brownells Action Grease more than anything else.

I use nyoil on my revolvers and lsa military lube on semi autos.

FP-10 is what I use on all my guns.

I have used Mobil 1, Slip 2000 oil and EWL grease, some syn grease avail in LGS, but I have settled on Valvoline Duroblend semi-syn grease. Its cheap and a tub will probably last several years. I put the grease in a 30ml syringe so it can be applied sparingly. Its thin, sticks very well, and cleans off easily.
I go to a local range 1-3 times a week so I usually swab the barrels at the range at the end of day and then I do a complete cleaning every two or three weeks.

It depends on the gun and depends where on the gun. A Glock needs three or four drops of thin Remoil. A SIG needs a good grease on the rails. Etc.

Astroglide.....silicone based,attractive dispenser,stands up to the most enthusiastic and repetitive of sessions,does not gel or break down and environmentally friendly....
I have shot many a mag's load using this product without so much as a complaint from my firearm or companion.

Prolix & Froglube

Lubriplate 105 for the slide rails. Cheap and it works.

I use Froglube paste on every gun I have now. I also have liquid I use to lightly lube pins and hard to reach spots. It reduces the build up of debris, burnt powder and is super easy to clean and it's super slick. I have an M&P 15-22 that was really picky with ammo. After using froglube I've not have one feeding issue since, 500+ rounds later.

It's worth a try, check it out.

You know, when I read the title I thought, there's going to be one....I guessed Cajun Lawyer....but you beat him to the buzzer.

I like Wilson Ultima Lube or Grease, depending on the application.

I've been using Energy Release for years.

First I use CPL and Hoppe's solvent to clean everything, then I use a drop of Hoppe's, or Rem-oil on any rotating parts and I put a light film of oil on all the metal parts. Then I apply Super Lube Teflon synthetic grease on the sliding parts with a q-tip. Finally I reassemble the pistol and wipe it down with a rag and occasionally polish it with a wax impregnated cloth.

Make that a West Virginia trifecta, I use FP-10 on my guns too.

Wait, this can't be right. Not two, but THREE guys on a gun forum agreeing?

Froglube.

For my pistol.

Although the Astroglide sounds interesting.

I was at a gun show this weekend, anything that was considered a gun lube was higher priced than 22LR ammo.

I will be following this thread!!

IMHO, Eezox has worked for me for 20 years, but, I have recently seen posts elsewhere that FrogLube slightly out-protected Eezox.

The only gun that I ever had that needed good lube to run right was a SS Gold Cup (Series 80, 45ACP)

It would run with Eezox.

Breakfree CLP.

It works great. I bought a gallon and the price-per-ounce is downright reasonable.
